Atlanta - Cinnabon, a subsidiary of AFC Enterprises
Inc., announced that it signed development agreements with two new
franchise partners and extended agreements with current franchise
partners that have committed to build 32 new Cinnabon bakeries.

"The previous owners of Cinnabon followed the philosophy of
having a large number of company-owned bakeries," explains
D'Wayne Tanner, vice president of new business development.
"We've taken a different approach which allows us to grow
the brand faster as a franchise company."

Following that philosophy, Cinnabon has started selling
company-owned units in outlying markets. Since AFC Enterprises
acquired the brand in 1998, the company has converted 17
company-owned units to experienced franchise partners. The company
is looking to convert more bakeries in markets such as Boston;
Kansas City, Missouri; Central Florida, Alabama, Ohio, Indiana,
Salt Lake City and Tennessee. -AFC Enterprises
